HELP & FAQs

A little clarity before you choose.

Straightforward answers about searching, paying and making a registration yours.

What is included in the displayed price?

The price covers the registration entitlement, applicable DVLA fees and our service. We add no further checkout fees. Physical number plates are a separate purchase.

When will payment be taken?

Your bank reserves the full amount when you complete checkout. This may appear as a pending payment. We collect payment after we secure the registration. Your order remains subject to availability until we confirm that your registration has been secured.

What if the registration becomes unavailable?

We check availability before checkout and again while processing your order. Availability can change until your registration has been secured. If we cannot secure it, we cancel your uncaptured authorisation. Your bank controls when the pending hold disappears.

Can I buy a registration for someone else?

At checkout, enter the intended recipient or registered keeper in the nominee field and choose whether the registration is for a vehicle or to keep for later. We confirm the details with you before securing your registration.

Will I receive physical number plates?

Your order is for the registration entitlement. We contact you about the documents and assignment details. You arrange physical plates separately once you have the documents needed.

How do I search for my name?

Start with your first name, full name, initials or a favourite number. Christian also looks for CHRIS and CHR; Michelle looks for MICH and MIC. A first name and surname also suggest your initials. Best match puts recognisable combinations before broader initials matches. Use the style and budget filters to narrow your choice.

Can I search for a word?

Yes. Try a word such as FAST, HELLO or COOL. We also look for recognisable number spellings, such as FA57, HE11O and CO01. Best match puts close word combinations ahead of broader abbreviations. Results depend on the registrations available in our checked stock, and additional matches can appear as searches are completed.

Can I search for an exact registration?

Yes. Enter the letters and numbers on the registration. A search containing numbers stays literal, so it will not turn an exact plate into a different name. Displayed registrations retain their correct spacing; a name-like combination is a suggestion, not permission to alter a plate.

Why can’t I find a plate I have seen elsewhere?

Our catalogue grows as registrations are checked. It does not contain every registration on the market, and availability can change. Try a shorter name or remove the style and budget filters. You can also send us the registration or the combination you have in mind and we can help you look.

How do I get an update on an order?

Use the private order-status link in your confirmation email, or contact us with the registration and your order reference. We will reply to the email address you provide.

Are you part of the DVLA?
